Goebel Reeves

C                     F      G                          C
Go to sleep you weary hobo - Let the towns drift slowly by
C      C7                 F         G                      C   
Listen to the steel rails hummin' - That's the hobo's lullaby

C                                F        G                        C 
I know your clothes are torn and tattered and your hair is turning gray
C         C7                F         G                              C
Lift your head and smile at trouble - You'll find peace of mind someday

C                           F        G                     C
Now don't you worry 'bout tomorrow - Let tomorrow come and go
C           C7               F      G                           C      
Tonight you have a nice warm boxcar safe from all that wind and snow

C                        F        G                        C
Do not let your heart be troubled if the world calls you a bum
C              C7          F            G                           C        
If your mother lived she’d love you for you are still your mother’s son


C                           F        G                      C 
I know the police cause you trouble -They make trouble everywhere
C             C7           F       G                        C
But when you die and go to Heaven, you'll find no policemen there

C                          F        G                           C
And when you die and go to heaven – all the trains that you can ride
C               C7               F    G                            C
The hard boiled brakeman and the hobo sleep there peaceful side by side

C                     F      G                          C
Go to sleep you weary hobo - Let the towns drift slowly by
C      C7                 F         G                      C   
Listen to the steel rails hummin' - That's the hobo's lullaby
G                      C
That's the hobo's lullaby
